About the trip

This ten-night cruise on Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition sets off from Belfast into the north Atlantic for a varied itinerary along Iceland’s coast, a stop in the Faroe Islands, before returning to Northern Ireland. The route threads through a selection of ports less often visited on larger cruises, allowing a closer look at waterways quieter than the better-known spots.

The call at Seyðisfjörður opens with the kaleidoscope of colourful houses that hug its fjord shore, while Akureyri offers a small town feel with its leafy streets and botanical gardens. Ísafjörður, in the Westfjords, sits amid empty mountains and sheltered inlets, less touched by tourism. Reykjavik provides a more urban contrast, the north Atlantic capital known for its energetic art scene and compact city centre. The Faroe Islands’ Runavík lies across a narrow sound, where the coastal pace slows further.

Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition is clearly built for straightforward travel rather than high theatre, keeping the focus on the local landscape and towns encountered in this north-west passage. The itinerary starts and ends in Belfast, a neat bookend to this modest but detailed exploration of parts rarely crammed into a single cruise.
